The 1931 W517 baseball set consists of 54 cards measuring 3” by 4”, much larger than the contemporaries of the era. The creamy stock cardboard cards were distributed in strips and often show the dotted line at the top and bottom used for cutting. Though primarily appearing in a sepia-tone, other colors are known to exist, including blue. As was the case with many of the strip cards of the time, the W517 are blank-backed.

Presented here is a collection of eleven (11) graded cards from the W517 set.
